Yeah, venturing into the original stuff is a whole different ball of wax, that's for sure. I really just want to get the two WIPs I have out there finished (OGAM is closer to the end than the other one, alas), and then distance myself more from fanfiction. I'll still write it, I'm sure, because it's an addiction, but no more OMG HUGE MONSTERFICS.

But those demons of self-doubt can and will kick your ass if you let them, you're absolutely right.
